“Last year, French media outlet La Lettre reported that until 2021, Netflix in France minimised its tax payments by declaring its turnover generated in France to the Netherlands.”
When Netflix stopped routing French revenue through Amsterdam, its declared French turnover jumped from €47.1m in 2020 to €1.2bn in 2021. That is about 25 times more, from a country with some 10 million subscribers. Prosecutors now want to know whether the minimising kept going after 2021. Netflix says it complies with tax laws wherever it operates, and the Amsterdam setup existed so it could say that.
